What Causes Pain Deep In Legs Radiating Towards Left Thigh And Calf?

I have what I think is arthritic pain across my buttocks. The pain also goes deep into the tops of my legs. This has moved down into my left thigh & calf. It feels like it is tight & being squeezed and hurts when I stand or walk but not when sitting. At night generally OK but sometimes my hip joints start to ache & wake me. I also sometimes get cramps in my thighs & calves. Is there something serious going on here?
